The people you've touched the way you touched them
I hope they've touched you too

We're all on the ground just crying out would somebody save me please
I won't sit around just thinking about the troubles that tomorrow brings
I'm dying to be alive yeah
Not trying to just survive
Let's not go through our lives without
Just dying to be alive

The things you see the way you see them will never be seen again
Let's go through life living on luck, betting ten thousand to ten
Mistakes I've made in this life I can't say why or when
But the thing that's strange is you only live once, I'll never look back again
